What People Are Saying About Casablanca Tea Room

In Short
This chic Soho cafe transports guests to its namesake city with its florid details--waitresses wear caftan shirts, white cloths drape from the ceiling, and tea is served in silver kettles. The movie projection of "Casablanca" (could it be anything else?) adds to the charm. Thirty-something patrons--both couples and groups--sample Moroccan sausage, chickpea salad, and spicy olives from small bowls and wicker baskets. Sandwich presses behind the bar crank out paninis, while a case of Payard pastries urges more indulgence.

This restaurant no longer exists. We went looking for it tonight and were told by Lounge that it was closed. Writing this is my good deed for the day.

As you climb the steep stairs up to the front door, you walk in and instantly feel relaxed. We got the appetizer with bread and extra pepper appetizers. It was delicious. The drinks were yummy but very strong...but very tasty...The atmosphere was so comfortable and fun!!! Get there early since it is a small place and can get crowded fast!

My girl and I ducked into this place for lunch over the weekend. It had excellent ch'i and a beautiful decor. The white washed stone and curtains coupled with the North African lanterns were a nice oasis. They also project the movie, Casablanca, on a curtain on the wall. Very fun. The wine we had was excellent, and the tapas mixed plate was perfect. Haven't had better beet salad, chick peas, eggplant, olives, and grilled flat bread in a long time. The bartenders were friendly, if not a little too cocky, but they were responsive. The only knock is that the space is tight. We sat at the bar. I can imagine this place is a great hot spot at night.
